And So It Began...

As we walked to my families home, I thought about what Carlisle would have to say concerning the baby's health and development..There were so many what ifs in my life, I didn't want the baby's to fall into that category, the pregnancy made it obvious that they would develop at a faster rate, despite my efforts to not "analyze" them I knew that they were growing at a faster rate than normal, Jake could see it too, even though he would never let on, he wouldn't say anything to upset me and I loved him for that.. I reached over to take his hand as we got closer to the house...
When we entered Carlisle stood as if he'd been waiting for us to arrive, but my mother was the first to meet us, "And how are the most beautiful babies in the world?" she asked in that baby voice, the one I'd never heard her use before, but it was endearing to see two innocent souls crack the shell of a vampire, my father just loved to be near them, he claimed that they were brilliant, even if they shared Jacob's bloodline, he joked.. and on a more serious side, he spoke of how much they loved me, and how the sound of my voice made their hearts double in size... that was one of many special beautiful moments we'd shared in my life.. I was so grateful to have him as a father, and was thankful that my children would share him as a grandfather, his abilities were as amazing as he was, and I loved him so much...
Carlisle gently motioned us to his office, so he could "check out" the babies.. On the outside it seemed like any routine physical ... but there were subtle differences.. obviously he couldn't go about normal circumstances on some things, there skin was extra strong and resilient just like mine.. so routine blood work was a bit of a challenge, unlike me however they seemed to prefer a human diet, I had assumed as much considering my aversion to blood during the pregnancy...
He noted their growth, with a line of concern creasing between his eyes, and he moved at such a quick, careful rate that Mason never woke up, until it was time for his blood work that is... Elizabeth had hers taken first, Carlisle had fashioned a device equivalent to the strength of a vampires fangs.. sharper than anything ever necessary for human blood work, and with a gentle press of the finger he retrieved a few drops of blood to examine..
And then came Mason's turn, he'd been asleep wrapped in a soft bundle in my arms, until this point I hadn't recalled ever hearing him cry, or Elizabeth for that matter, they were both even tempered generally happy, it helped that my father knew what they wanted before they'd even had a chance to get upset, so as Carlisle pressed the device to Mason's chubby little hand, he had awoke from the cold touch of his hand, he let out a high pitched scream...
It was to be expected, but what happened next was not....
